Are you using Word97? What happens, if you try to open a document vie Explorer, nuthing? Well, then simply run OfficeRepair...

Some of the smallest app Neveprise has ever made. Originally it has been designed for a friend, but why not publishing it one the website?
The purpose for this app is to repair the wrong registrations of *.doc files in some versions of Office 97 Pro. This bug causes not to load document files when launched vie Explorer. So with OfficeRepair, you can enter your describtion for Word-Documents ans specify an Icon. When clicking the repair button, the docs shall be openable via explorer.

Note that in this version only Word documents are repaired. If other docs shall be repaired also, please send me a mail containing the fileextensions and registry names, as well as the default application paths, e.g. for Excel or PowerPoint.
